Tara Reid has reportedly been left devastated after her reality TV show 'Taradise' has been axed.

The sexy star, who recently fired her publicist, had a "complete meltdown" during an interview for America's Steppin' Out magazine, according to reporter Chaunce Hayden.

He claimed to America's New York Post newspaper that Tara admitted she was desperate for a decent movie role to prove she is more than just a party girl.

She said: "I need one more great movie role so the media say, 'Wow, she can act!' Then I think they'll leave me alone.

"If I'm going to try and do something, it has to happen this year. I'm not stupid."

Tara claims she only goes out to nightclubs because she doesn't have a job. She said: "If I could get good movies, you would never see me going out. But when there's nothing to do, what am I supposed to do, just sit in my house and go crazy?

"I'm just fed up. I just want a chance again. I want to show that I am an actress. I just wish a director would believe in me."

The stunning actress is also furious at TV bosses for editing 'Taradise' to make her look like "a total party-girl drug retard." She moaned: "I think the shots they show aren't fair."
